Aussie Millions Main Event - Final Table Set
Posted by: James Carter. - Fri, 2015-01-30 15:56
The final table of the 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event has been set and there's a bit of a shortage of "name" competitors in what's effectively the "home stretch" of the
poker tournament. As a matter of fact, the only truly high-profile professional in the final 7 is Brian Rast, who won't take a particularly impressive stack into battle on the last day of the event. Rast finished day 4 with 1.18 million chips to his name, which makes him the official short-stack of the final table. The biggest stack, a little over 4 million chips, ended up in James Rann's possession.
A total of 30 players returned to action at the beginning of Day 4, among them pros like Mike McDonald and Phil Ivey. Neither McDonald, nor Ivey managed to survive the day though. The latter was eliminated during the 20th level of action by local player Anthony Legg.

In what would become Ivey's last hand of the tournament, the chips went into the middle on a flop of 4,Q,3, all hearts, a rather tough spot for both players indeed. Ivey then showed a Qd, Kh for the top pair, while Legg had an Ah, Kd for the nut flush draw. The 9h on the turn sealed the deal, and Ivey was bounced.
Tony Hachem followed him to the rail in 22nd place, followed in turn by Jesse McKenzie and Andrew Chan. Ami Barer, the defending champion of the tournament, made a valiant stand, but eventually he too bit the dust in 11th spot.
The final table bubble-boy was Grant Levy, sent packing in 8th place to end the day.
